The first song of the year was chosen, because I feel it represents a new beginning and shows how much hope and opportunity there is for us. The first song of the year is "Better Place" by Rachel Platten (the link is down below). The year 2016 is a better place for all of us. The year 2016 will be a year of growth and positive change towards respect and simplicity. The year 2016 is another opportunity for us to become our true self. Are you ready? ;)
Words and actions are two completely different things, so I am going to try some tricks to make sure I follow through with my resolutions.
FIRST, I will choose one big goal. My goal for 2016 is to learn how to cook. Now, I can cook and stuff, so that I don't die of hunger :p, but I want to learn how to make good/healthy food. This will be my only goal. Until I am not able to accomplish this, I will not move.
SECOND, I will make target days to practice. I am going to make myself have a regimented schedule. I will tell my family I am officially assigned to cook good food on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. This will make me have to act on those days (or my family doesn't eat :p).
THIRD, I will monitor my progress. I will keep track of how much time it takes for me to prepare certain dishes, and of wether I am able to correctly make a good tasting dish. At the end, I hope to have created a healthy recipe book.
These are some of the ways that I believe I will be able to accomplish what I have set for myself this year. I know that for me, it is hard to start something/anything, so I have to do it one at a time. After I get into the habit, I am able to move on to the next. Feel free to follow through with my method, and if you have other ideas, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you, beautiful you for being again with me this day :)
Be strong, be unique, and step out of your comfort zone!
